Lascelles makes Mitrovic look small.

What the hell? Rafa has a whole underground basement dedicated to his encyclopaediac knowledge of all players. He knows about the packet of quavers that Mark Noble ate when he was 14. That's sealed it then. Still questions to be asked why Carr is still here though? If your in total control surley Carr would have been gone for all the poor recruitment. Something doesn't sit right about it all. But obviously I'm a troll etc now for having a glimmer of doubt.

Omg, is that some kind of record at that age. Gonna be off again when Pardew ruins him.

Doesn't look Scottish Cockney/Jock.

Pleased about this, finally the rot is being shifted. Taylor, now him, soon Sissoko hopefully.

Comfortably the worst post I've seen on here recently and there's been some competition. You really think Rafa (one f, by the way), hasn't seen two premier league players and a keeper (who has a name *Sels*), play before? This bloke does his homework. He's not Pardew. Not what was said, I think Carr is behind them. Fine if Raffa rubber stamped it. But I still think more Carr than Raffa. So f***? The main issue we had with Carr's recent signings were physical unsuitability for the league. Neither of these players have that problem and both have decent (or better) records in the division we're playing in. You also discount the idea that Rafa has maintained a network of contacts over here who might well have advised him. And the "not 100% in control" statement is utter horseshit as well. Have a read back on the Rafa thread and see the posts from the Liverpool fans. They know the bloke better than us and it's clear that when they tell us about the man's character, he is a man of utmost integrity. Rafa would have been gone the minute we were relegated if he hadn't been assured he had cast iron control over every aspect of the club. Ok then. I'll sit on the fence a bit and see what happens. Shearer has said similar comments in the media, claiming "he hopes he has full control but only time will tell". Guess even the big man has doubts.

Yes fair comment, I'm kind of claiming Carr has identified them, Rafa has selected them. I'm sure he or someone still trusts Carr with something, or why is he still hanging around. Just an opinion, cheers for the onslaught everyone, ?

He joined us with 10 games left of a Season? Before that he had been off managing abroad, what could he have actually seen of either Ritchie or Gayle, Ritchie only recently playing Prem footy, Gayle hardly playing any Prem footy this season. You think he scouted Ritchie in the championship? Behave cause Carr's behind the pair, maybe the scouted evidence is enough though to justify Raffa agreeing they will work in the championship. You can't be that naive. Sorry if that sounds cuntish Not cuntish, just moronic. You clearly haven't read a thing about Rafa or his player databases. Still, the good thing about being completely wrong is that you still have a chance to educate yourself. So top of his database was Ritchie & Gayle. Ok genius.

Theses new signings are Graham Carr. Gayle & Ritchie the goalie, I just don't believe Raffa could have seen enough of Gayle or Ritchie to know anything more than even the average football fan. I'm not saying they are bad signings, we will have to wait and see, but I don't think they're Raffa identified, and I'm still thinking Raffa is not 100% in total control. Time will tell.

Knew it ages ago. Just thought we would have done more to convince him it would have been better to stay,maybe renegotiate a better deal for him. Bit annoyed by him now.

Where from? The voices in my head. Nah, he's gone though. My opinion is if he travels he's gone, otherwise he would just instruct his agent to kindly decline the offer. If he's pictured in London I'll take it he's off

Where from?

Don't get this whole love in with Armstrong the lad looked so far out of his depth when in the premier league he came on or started. yes he's scored goals at Coventry but that may be his level he's shown nothing to say he's got it at a much higher level and the fact he's local is a p*ss poor argument Taylor Colback and Ameobi were local look at how s*** these are. who gives a f*** if they are local or not they are paid to put the ball in the net the people saying Dwight Gayle is a dodgy deal need to give their head a shake we are a championship club now and he's looked sharp quick and an eye for goal in the premier league whenever I've seen him something our strikers have never shown he'd instantly be our best striker by a complete mile As if he wasn't just 17 or 18 when played in premier league and under Pardcunt no less :-) Armstrong is decent young player and still only 19, he needs to play at this level. Yes pal, but these experts that have seen him make 2 maybe 3 sub appearance's and get 5 mins at a time, are the knowledge! ?

Your talking about super rich footballers. You could argue the same case for local players who live and breathe their clubs to get some loyalty, money talks and everyone shits on everyone.

He's not a scared fanny though.

Sevilla seem to love French players. Their gaffer French?

Recently, 15 in 64 isn't amazing. But he would probably find the net more in the lower league

Townsend is going to Palace if we are getting Dwight Gayle. Also genuinely dont see much difference in Armstrong & Gayle other than one has just come off pretty much a full season and banged in 20 goals at the same time. Gayle hardly played half and scored 3. Armstrong also younger local, so he will want to do well. Don't get the deal for Gayle if true.

He will know about all the top targets we had and didn't sign because they were to expensive. I'm just surprised a player of Batshuayi's alleged potential would go to Palace? Surley better offers are on the table.

Take it Kruls off to bum Pardew, like they all seem to do? I'll have more respect for him if he goes Everton.

Shearer & Ferdinand for England.

That totally reminded me of watching us most of this season. So similar.
